Can someone explain a quick question to me on the Affordable act? [View all]

I'm moving to NC and am looking on the policy rates

I found one where it will cost $395 a month and my premium payment would be $79 a month

It says it has a deductible of $5500 a year.
It also said that my copay for prescriptions after the deductible is meet will be 20% cost of generic prescriptions .

Does this mean if I don't have to see a doctor I still have to spend $5500 at the pharmacy for my prescriptions before I can
use the plan?
